Like many millennials, the primary watches I ever bought had been Fossil watches. Lengthy earlier than I grew to become a watch fanatic, I nonetheless wore a watch each day, and quite a few them had been Fossils.
From roughly eighth grade by way of highschool, I burned by way of 4 Fossil watches, all of which belonged to the model’s “Blue” line of waterproof sports activities watches. The primary two had blue dials, with the second being a diver, each bought in an try to mimic the look of James Bond’s Omega Seamaster, which on the time was unfathomably costly to me.
Later in highschool, my fashion branched out a bit. I had a white and blue panda dial triple calendar that was made to seem like a chronograph, adopted by an identical mannequin with a grey dial and a sun-moon complication that was made to seem like a moonphase.

None of those watches lasted very lengthy. Two stopped working and had been chucked, one was stolen from boys’ locker room throughout a basketball recreation, and the sun-moon mannequin discovered its everlasting resting place on the backside of Lake Wassookeag throughout a very aggressive bout of tubing.
In school, I purchased a Bulova Marine Star that I wore for a decade. Round 30, I found mechanical watches and determined, oddly sufficient, to construction my life round them. Suffice it to say, I haven’t given a lot thought to Fossil watches in a really very long time.
However that modifications as we speak, as a result of I’ve simply realized of the Marvel x Fossil Unbelievable 4 Watch. And I form of need to purchase one.
